⚠️ Eco v0.14 is coming — the next major update reworks upgrade modules, so some of these numbers will change. They reflect the current version. What’s changing →
  • Simpler tiers: the 1–4 tiered upgrades become a single Basic / Advanced / Modern upgrade each.
  • Permanent upgrades: a module placed in a workstation is permanent — no more swapping lower tiers out as you progress.
  • Power transitions: a module can change a station’s power type/draw (e.g. a Modern upgrade moves a sawmill from mechanical to electrical power).
  • Talent-integrated: modules now use the same bonus/talent system — any talent benefit (power, labor cost, recipe unlocks) can come from a module.
  • Cheaper to upgrade: with the multi-tier parts gone, fully upgrading a workstation costs significantly less.

We’ll update this calculator shortly after the update releases.

Notes

Copper Wiring is a foundational conductive component used as a primary ingredient across a wide variety of electrical and electronic crafting recipes. Weighing 200 grams and stacking to 100, it is required to manufacture essential infrastructure items ranging from basic Light Bulbs and Fuses to complex Advanced Circuits and Electric Motors. Because it is a mandatory material for much of the electrical tech progression, players should prioritize bulk-producing and stocking it in settlement stores to efficiently support their community's transition to electrical power and advanced manufacturing.
